The 1920's

Remember when a large part of the population found something dangerous to the greater good, though legal at the time. Went through the effort to change the Constitution regarding it. A national campaign and consciousness about the evils of alcohol and how it was our moral obligation to the safety of society, family, children, health care and public safety?

Remember that? How is that effort now seen in retrospect? As successful? As a correct principle? And where are we today?

There is something admirable in wanting to make such a change, but the means to it can't be banning a "thing". That's utterly foolish.

Look at prohibition again and make the corollary to the gun issue today and tell me if you think it will be any different? It won't.
